Default Things I got done this weekend....

So I pulled the trigger on about $2000 worth of parts.

I went over to a friends garage saturday morning and we started out working on the suspension. Replaced control arms, TRE's, all the shocks and springs with a Koni/ebeich setup, replaced headlights for the one peice look and put in an 6K HID kit. Oh and cant forget the engine mounts.

Wow what a difference. the ride hieght dropped about an inch but the handling is excellant. We found that 3 of the 4 shocks were blown and the engine mounts were leaking purple crap. Night vision is greatly improved over the old 2peice halogens that I had before and the HID's are great too.

It took us about 7 hours to finish all of it. So far so good. I'll post some pics later.
